A New Era of Ownership, Artistry & Elevated Living
Written by HeART of COOL
In a world where trends move fast but culture moves deep — it’s rare to witness a brand launch that feels like a frequency shift.
Enter TSA Approved — the newest creation from NBA champion, artist, and cultural curator Iman Shumpert in collaboration with Glenmere Farms.
More than a cannabis brand — TSA Approved is a statement.
A movement.
A passport to a new paradigm where ownership, legacy, and conscious cultivation meet.
A Cultural Takeoff at Torches NYC
The official lift-off took place at Torches NYC, an iconic Brooklyn dispensary known for celebrating premium product and creative expression. The event wasn’t just a launch — it was a cultural convergence.
Athletes. Artists. Herbalists. Healers.
Under one roof, a new wave of cannabis culture was born — one rooted in Black excellence, sovereignty, and soulful innovation.
TSA Approved arrived not just on shelves, but in spirit — disrupting an industry and delivering a message:
We don’t move the way they move.
We move with intention.
We move with legacy.
We move TSA Approved.
Meet the Woman Behind the Harvest:
Dr. Sha-Ron Pierre-Kovler — Founder of Glenmere Farms
At the heart of TSA Approved is Dr. Sha-Ron Pierre-Kovler — molecular biologist, researcher, and founder of Glenmere Farms.
Born in South Jamaica, Queens during the height of the War on Drugs, Dr. Pierre-Kovler witnessed the harsh realities of prohibition firsthand. But it was science that brought her full circle. With a PhD in Biology and postdoctoral work at Columbia University, she’s now using cannabis as a tool of healing and empowerment.
“Most of the diseases that take us off this planet come with inflammation… Cannabis — beyond THC — holds cannabinoids that regulate the body’s inflammatory response. That’s medicine.”
— Dr. Sha-Ron Pierre-Kovler via Leafly
Through Glenmere Farms, Dr. Pierre-Kovler merges science with sovereignty — providing the high-integrity cultivation Iman Shumpert needed to co-create a brand steeped in authenticity and intention.
What Does TSA Stand For?
Taste. Style. Access.
And on a deeper frequency:
Truth. Sovereignty. Alignment.
Because real legacy?
Real luxury?
That’s always homegrown.
Final Boarding Call: Culture Takes Flight
At HeART of COOL, we celebrate the innovators — the visionaries who build sovereign spaces and shape sustainable culture.
Congratulations to @imanshumpert and @drsharonkovler of @glenmerefarms for launching more than a brand — for launching a blueprint.
This is just the beginning.
Stay lifted.
Stay sovereign.
Stay TSA Approved.
❤️ Love & Light 🌞,
